Thank you Nigel, your comments confirm what I suspected ...a fairly musically painful system when applied to bells!<BR>

<P>I must confess that this is not a system that I would wish to use for bells. As I have stated elsewhere, it is best suited for playing music in minor key. The major thirds are flat of a pure 3rd, and the leading notes are very flat. Lucy tuning falls between Salinas' 1/3rd comma meantone, and Zarlino's 2/7 comma. <BR>
<BR>
Personally, if I wanted to play in all 24 keys equally well, I would use 19-notes to an octave 1/4 comma meantone. I tune my own keyboard instrument in a modified meantone, which allows me to play in most keys.<BR>
<BR>
I think that extreme tunings would not please the majority of ringers, particularly flat major 3rds and very large semitones!!<BR>
